...promising savings of only pennies per gallon many years down the road...

...'only pennies per gallon' in D-speak could be up to 99 pennies.

...'many years down the road' is because of the permit process debacle.

...If gas is pennies per gallon less than today many years down the road, is that not good?

She (they) truly think we're stupid.

So let’s see — the Democrat’s plan is pennies per gallon — and there are 40 gallons (roughly) of gasoline in a barrel of crude. Could we then say that the pennies per gallon might translate to maybe $4 per barrel?

That’s a pretty lame argument since Bush just signed an executive order and it effectively brought the price of crude down $20+ — mainly by scaring the speculators.

I’d still like to know whether or not Reid and Pelosi have any money invested in those hedge funds. If they do, then about the time that they get their money out, they’ll allow resolutions authorizing drilling offshore.

IMO

5 cents per gallon

equals

1 dollar per 20 gallon tank.

equals 2 dollars per week for filling two family cars once per week.

equals 104 dollars per year for a family.
104 dollars which could pay for medicine for a child, start a college fund, or go to something other than gas taxes.

Perhaps 2 dollars per week could be the allowance for a 10 year old. Nice going nancy pelosi, you are stealing money from the piggy banks of 10 year olds.

Now try the same analysis with shipping costs where a single penny per gallon can cascade to being profit or loss.
